2. The Knit Infinity

Cable knit infinity or plush knit infinity, this season opt for either style you prefer as they will both offer you lots of comfort, warmth and style.

3. Patterned Knit Scarves

Modern design? Check. Cool pattern? Check. Knit? Check. Versatility? Double check.

This just might become your favorite F/W scarf style.

4. Keyhole Scarves

This season, dress up in elegance with a stylish keyhole scarf For a secure fit, this style features a discrete keyhole slit to slide through one end of the scarf so you won’t have to worry about arranging your scarf through the day.

Fashion trends appear and disappear on a daily basis; most of them barely lasting a couple of weeks. However, there are styles that are forever trendy, always beautiful and always fashionable. One of those timeless styles is the pashmina shawl. Classic and elegant, the pashmina is one of the most popular women’s accessories. Ever since its appearance on the fashion scene and up to this day, this wardrobe staple has remained a classic. There are certain prints, fabrics and styles that will go out of style after a while, but you can rest assured that the pashmina isn’t one of those.

What makes the pashminas so special? The soft feel, the warmth they offer, the style and the effortless elegance, all these contribute to the appeal of the scarf. But that’s not all that is special about pashminas. They are also extremely versatile items that can be easily dressed up or dressed down; they can be worn both during summer and winter and they go well with pretty much everything else in your wardrobe.

It’s well worth investing in a classic pashmina shawl; you’ll see that it will soon become your most valuable fashion accessory. Here are the top classic cashmere pashminas every woman should own:

A black pashmina shawl

A nude pashmina scarf – this would also make a gorgeous bridesmaid gift. Plus, the warm cafe-au-lait color is hard to resist!

A white pashmina shawl – soft and beautiful, the white pashmina will make a nice addition to your everyday wardrobe. If white isn’t your favorite, try another classic, the cream pashmina shawl.

Real Wedding Inspiration: Bridesmaid Pashmina Shawls

In 2011 Fashion Trends, Bridal Fashion, Bridesmaid Pashmina Shawls, Fashion Scarves, Get the Look, Pashmina Scarves, Pashmina Shawls and Scarves, Summer Scarves, Women's Scarves on July 27, 2011 at 10:56 pm

Bridesmaid pashmina shawls are the ideal gift and wedding accessory for bridesmaids, mother-in-law and mother of the bride. The elegant pashmina shawls are extremely versatile and easy to wear so your bridesmaids will be able to use them even after the ceremony is over.

Some of our wonderful customers were kind enough to send us their wedding day pictures and today we’re sharing them with you so you can find some real wedding inspiration for your bridesmaids’ gifts. Plus, in case you are having trouble picking out a pashmina shawl to match your bridesmaids’ dress, these photos might help you with the matching process!

The pashminas were the perfect gift! We got the Mouse Gray color and they went perfectly with the dresses and I know they have all used them since as well. – A. Strauss (Denver, CA)

* The Mousse Gray Pashmina Shawl is currently unavailable, but we suggest the lovely Green Gray Pashmina Shawl instead.

I got married in Key West in January. It was barely 60 degrees the day of our wedding, so the pashminas were an absolute lifesaver! The girls wore them all night. They also added a beautiful pop of color to our party. – W. Johnson

If you’re opting for metallics when it comes to your bridesmaids’ dresses, accessorize them with a shawl in a rich, vibrant color. We recommend the Deep Burgundy Pashmina Shawl, the Bubblegum Pashmina Shawl or the Cranberry Pashmina Shawl

These shawls will add a much needed pop of color to any dress and will keep your bridesmaids warm in case the weather gets chilly!

The pashminas were perfectly priced and absolutely gorgeous. My bridesmaid dresses were black, and the pashminas added the perfect pop of color. They also helped keep my bridesmaids keep warm on a cooler night. One of my bridesmaids (who has been in many weddings) told me that the pashmina was the best bridesmaid gift she had ever received! – E. Leman (Naperville, IL)

Baby blue is one of the loveliest pashmina colors and will beautifully compliment your bridesmaids’ dresses.

I ordered my bridesmaids the coral pashminas from La Purse as a gift for being in our wedding. We got married on a horse farm in Kentucky in October. I chose traditional fall colors for the flowers and since the bridesmaids were wearing chocolate brown I thought coral would be the perfect accent color. The pashminas were great especially since there was a little chill in the air that day. The quality of the pashminas were wonderful and I received my shipment in a very timely manner. Thank you so much! – R. Blair, CA (Lexington, KY)

A coral pashmina will look fabulous matched against a chocolate brown bridesmaid dress as the ones pictured above.
